I guess what I'm saying is that HN should not penalize the company doing the journalism. People can buy a subscription, those that won't still have a technical solution, and for the rest they can google like you did and find an article to read among the blogspam.
In the meantime, we have a clear if sucky policy, described at https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10178989, with plenty more explanation at https://hn.algolia.com/?sort=byDate&dateRange=all&type=comme.... It is the way it is not because we or anyone else likes it, but because the alternatives would suck worse.

edit: All worked though an ad appeared over the article that I was able to dismiss by clicking on the small x in the upper right of the ad itself. Then I was able to read all those articles without being logged-in to the WSJ, just like readers of HNs could before.
